Important Upcoming DI Dates

Instant Challenge Day-Monday, Feb. 17 at Groton Elementary from 1pm-4pm.  The Groton DI teams and a few from another school in our region will be attending.  This is a great learning experience for our DI kids!  Each Team Manager has an instant challenge prepared and will be located in different rooms in the school.  The teams then rotate to the different instant challenges (about 15-20min. in each IC).  This is beneficial for the teams as they experience different challenges and comments from the "appraisers" (team managers).  RISING STARS TEAM WILL NOT BE PARTICIPATING IN THE INSTANT CHALLENGE DAY-
Regional DI tournament - Saturday, March 8 in Aberdeen @NSU
State DI tournament - (for those teams placing 1st or 2nd at Regional Tournament) Saturday, March 29 in Pierre at Riggs High School  --Rising Stars team does not have to worry about this date
